Naruto : Minato back to the past

"The teacher is very pleased that you have such awareness," Shirota-sensei laughed immediately. Just as Minato said, he trusted his students. In his class, there were indeed a few students worth looking forward to. Minato in front of him was the best among them.

Shirota-sensei announced the matter of this ninja trial and the conditions that everyone must participate.

This really caused a sensation in the class, even Mikoto was no exception, and the only one who was relatively calm was Minato, who knew about it in advance.

But the teacher seemed to not know the specific method and location of the trial. This was probably because the village kept it secret in order to protect the balance of the trial. From the perspective of scale alone, this trial couldn't be like the usual test, just a test of strength, as simple as fighting.

Because for the students of the ninja school, relying solely on combat power is really no advantage. When strength and experience cannot be compared, they can only rely on their own wisdom. As for how to use it, it depends on the specific location and method of the trial.

Minato believed that this Ninja Trial would not be so simple, and it could be seen from the words of the Third Hokage that day. If it was just a simple test of whether he had the strength to become Kushina's bodyguard, wouldn't it be better to find an Anbu to test Minato's strength?

After hearing that the participants of the Ninja Trial were not only students of the Ninja School but also graduated Genin, many people in the class showed a look of sorrow. But Kushina, who was sitting not far from Minato, was excited. Seeing this, Minato smiled awkwardly. With her current strength, ordinary Genin were no match for Kushina.

In the class next to him, most people's expressions were similar to Minato's class, and Uchiha Yoruki, who was sitting in the upper row and had always been expressionless, slowly raised a smile at the corner of his mouth. "Namikaze Minato, this time, let's see who is stronger between you and me."

At the same time, somewhere in Konoha, there was a boy wearing a Konoha forehead protector. After receiving this news, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He couldn't help but think of the blond boy who had sparred with him when he was about to graduate a year ago. A year has passed. How much has he grown under the guidance of big brother Jiraiya?

"Minato, I'm looking forward to meeting you. I've become much stronger this year." Nawaki smiled and stroked the Konoha forehead protector he was wearing. His eyes also crossed the street and looked at the Hokage Rock, which symbolized the Konoha symbol. "Grandpa, I won't embarrass you!"

Three days later, it was time for the Ninja Trial to begin. In everyone's fear, expectation, and other emotions, three days passed quickly. Until the third day, when it was almost time to leave school, a strange man walked into Minato's class.

He was also wearing the iconic Konoha Chunin vest, but the temperament exuded by the whole person was completely different from that of Shirota-sensei. It was extremely violent. On the left side of his face, there was a hideous scar several inches long. So even though he didn't look ugly, he still scared many students.

He looked around at the young faces in front of him, his eyes were calm, and wherever he looked, the students were avoiding him. It was not until he saw Kushina looking at him without fear that a slight fluctuation flashed in his eyes.

This was not because Kushina was a big shot, but because she was an orphan of the war, and her experience was different from that of her classmates. Although this Konoha Chunin had a ferocious face, she had long been accustomed to it.

Then he looked at Mikoto next to Kushina, and she was also calm. There were many strong people in the Uchiha clan, and their auras were much more ferocious than his. Mikoto was already accustomed to it.

He finally noticed Minato sitting in the corner. Compared with the indifference of the first two, Minato looked at him very calmly. Immediately, a slight smile appeared on his ferocious face. He thought that all the students should be shocked when they saw him like this, but there were still a few exceptions.

Retracting his gaze, he said in an extremely hoarse voice, "I am the staff of this Ninja Trial. Now I am here to inform you about the relevant matters of the Ninja Trial. I will only say it once, so remember everything."

Many people nodded subconsciously, and Minato and Kushina concentrated their minds, fearing that they would miss something.

"This Ninja Trial is to test whether you have the ability to become a ninja and your current strength. No one is allowed to quit or give up easily. As for the consequences, I believe your teacher has warned you. If you have the mentality of becoming a ninja in the future, don't treat this trial as just an exam, but as a mission to perform.

For each mission, the ninja completes it with the awareness of life. I hope you will always remember this." The man said indifferently, giving everyone a sense of oppressive urgency, making them realize that this trial is not a joke.

Sure enough, when he mentioned the word "life," everyone, including Minato, frowned slightly. The man laughed and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. After all, many of you will be judged as unqualified because only the strong can pass this trial and get the reward of the trial!"

"Reward?" Minato said to himself. He had not heard this from Shirota-sensei.

"As for what the reward is, only those who pass it can know, and in my opinion, you have no hope of passing." He continued to attack the students in front of him with a frivolous tone.

"Isn't it just a trial? What's so difficult about it? I'll pass it and show you!" In the silent class, Kushina could no longer hold back and stood up suddenly. Mikoto couldn't hold her back.

Minato stared at the staff of the Ninja Trial, thinking about the information he had heard from him and about the trial so far.

"Oh, really?" The man looked at Kushina with interest, and then continued, "Then I look forward to your performance. Let me tell you the venue of this Ninja Trial. The trial site is in the Death Forest."
